Three agents become AITO specialists
AITO Specialist Travel Agents has welcomed three new members – Double S Travel, Cambourne Travel and Bailey’s Travel.
Based in Luton, Double S Travel was founded in 1985 and specialises in leisure, cruising and business travel.
Its owner Steve Pattenden said the agency had decided to join after getting fed up with the way it is treated by the ‘big boys’.
"We are getting a little tired of being courted when they need us and dropped when they don’t," he said.
"We look for long-term, reliable relationships with the tour operators we deal with."
Cambourne Travel in Milton Keynes opened in 1974 and is a family-run business offering leisure and business travel.
With offices in Leighton Buzzard in Bedfordshire and Wellingborough in Northamptonshire, Bailey’s Travel was founded in 1988.
